Leitz management assigned two separate design teams to creating a SLR

company and history proved him correct. I believe, he was happiest when he
was in Germany and did not really want to leave.

Sal and Ed,

Do you guys know, or remember what was different about the Leitz SLR that
Bob's team created?  Do any descriptions, drawings, photographs or
prototypes exist?  Has this been in the LHSA Viewfinder or somewhere where
we could get a copy etc...?  And what can you tell us on the Lug who are
interested about it?
